82 Fires Lyrics by The East Pointers

What We Leave Behind

2017

[Verse 1]
Darkened clouds rolling over the valley
Sparked the resting flame
Earth has come to claim her country
Screaming out for rain
Thunder's fixed on the battle drum pounding
Summoning the lightning strike
One by one around me gathered
Waiting for the first light

Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn
Oh, 82 fires still burn

[Verse 2]
Raised two boys of in the land of my fathers
Tending crops in the fertile fields
Through depth, flood, frost and fire
Only took what the land could yield
We heard old tales of 82 fires
Smoke turned day to night
And legends told there would come a time
When they return with all of their might

Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn
Oh, 82 fires still burn

(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)

[Verse 3]
The clearing's quiet, the heir's been taken
To the furnace over the rise
The last red sun has been shredded
By the smoke that stings our eyes
We always knew that on this land
We would live and die
But here we stand amoung 82 fires
Speak our breathless goodbye

Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn
Oh, 82 fires still burn
Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn
Oh, 82 fires still burn
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
